Annual Plans and Long Term Plans

Annual Plan 2025/2026

Feedback on a targeted rate for museums is now open.

Before we adopt the Annual Plan for 2025/2026, we are asking for your feedback about a targeted rate collected on behalf of three of the district’s museums – Mangawhai Museum, Kauri Museum and Dargaville Museum.

Any targeted rate for these museums would be in addition to our average 8.9% rates increase for the coming year and would mean an update to our Revenue and Financing Policy.

The feedback period is open for one month from Monday 7 April until 11.59pm Wednesday 7 May 2025.
